As far as vampire films go, this is undeniably weak. But it does have one redeeming quality - John Savage. He seems to be having a good time making this film. Imagine his character from The Thin Red Line as a happy-go-lucky vampire, and that's what you get in this film. Aside from Savage, though, this isn't good. This is a Roger Corman film, so it has lots of the usual T&A and cheesy gore, but even that's not enough to recommend it. Unless you're a John Savage completist.

Vampire blood lust and the need for a plasma fix is a favorite of this director. A one time substance abuser, Mr. Ruben is trying to come to terms with his addiction through this dark and disturbing film. Think of it as similar to Oliver Stone's Platoon or George Lucas' American Graffiti. This film is an artistic exploration of heroin, replacing the needle for fangs.If you believe anything I've just stated then you should be able to stomach this piece of trite. Otherwise, take your brain and your money else where.

John Savage sinks to new lows...he can act, but the script is all over the place...no one can salvage this one. I am a real fan of vampire films and it was tough to sit through this one. Unless you just gotta watch it, I'd say pass on it.

John Savage...... My, how the mighty has fallen. Do yourself a favor. When you see this film at your local video store, make the sign of the cross with your fingers (or, pinch your nose--optional) and just walk away. If you rent (or God-forbid, buy) this film, it WIll suck the brain cells right out of your head.
